Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis Angles For Deontay Wilder Showdown

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It didn’t take long for Deontay Wilder to dispatch former heavyweight titlist Siarhai Liakhovich on Friday evening, nor was it very long before fans and media began pondering his next step up in class.

Most were taken aback by the explosive manner in which Wilder (29-0, 29KO) finished off the badly faded Liakhovich. Others were uninspired, left with the feeling that it was more of the same and that the unbeaten American is badly in need of an opponent who – on paper – presents a challenge.

Add Odlanier Solis to the later category – not just as a critic but as a willing solution to that problem.

“I don't want to take anything away from Wilder - 29 wins and 29 KOs certainly speaks for a good build-up and a good job in matchmaking,” states Ahmet Öner, Solis’ promoter. “But I don't see Wilder as the next big thing - at least not until he fought a real opponent.

Then get in the ring with him big man!

Septembers not really far away and after Wilder's bleep test of a fight I think it's perfect timing to join a big card!

Solis wins, and easily unless Wilder catches him with something big early.

Yeah, an in-shape Solis definitely beats Wilder, but that ain't gonna happen.

I don't think Deontay is ready for someone of Solis skill level, I do feel they need to step up his comp but Solis is to much of a jump from the tomato cans hes been busting up.

I don't even think he has to be in shape. Honest. It's how little I think of Wilder.

I've said it before he is a d class fighter with a+ power.

Solis is a fat overrated blob. Wilder KO's that greasy pot of bacon in a few rounds lol.

Suuuurrrrrrrrrrre. That's why, despite Solis clearly wanting the fight and it being a decent fight to make financially, we'll never see Wilder fight Solis. Still, Solis would be a better matchup for him than Arreola. Doesn't matter though, the first top 15 fighter Wilder faces will ko him. Got no stake in this, I hope Wilder proves me wrong. But he's shown little besides power in his fights, he's yet to face a top 30 fighter after about 5 years and 29 fights, and has been put on the deck twice by horrid competition, so I truly doubt he's a big danger to top competitors like Solis.

Wilder's people would be fools to accept a fight with Solis right now. Wilder is finally starting to get the attention of fight fans, and it would be crazy to throw that away against a skilled fighter like Solis.
